Community is one of the core values at WithersRavenel, and a recent honor bestowed upon one of our longtime engineers reflects his commitment to a growing coastal community.
The Town of Belville recently made a statement honoring Senior Project Manager Joe Boyd, PE. He has shown a strong and lasting commitment to the Town. While Joe’s contributions to Belville are numerous, the proclamation noted that:
- Joe has served as a member of the Planning Board since 2009, including as its Vice Chairman. He has spent many hours revising the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and reviewing site plans. He attended public meetings for the 2010, 2013, 2020, and 2030 Vision Plans. He also played a key role in approving the Brunswick Riverwalk Project.
- He has also served as Vice Chairman of the Board of Adjustment and a member of the Technical Review Committee since 2009.
- Joe has promoted economic development within the Town. With Joe as the WithersRavenel team lead, he is working on the engineering of the Rice Hope and Belville Elementary Multi-Use Paths. The proclamation specifically stated that “Mr. Boyd’s engineering knowledge and technical expertise have been instrumental to the Town.”
Belville Manager Athina Williams said the Town appreciates Joe’s many years of service. “To say that he is a great asset is an understatement,” she said.
The proclamation and a plaque were presented to Joe at a Town meeting recently. Joe had no idea about the honor and was both surprised and humbled by the recognition.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Town’s growth; it has been very satisfying to me,” Joe said. “Belville was the first place that I moved to out of college. It’s got a special place in my heart.”
Working out of WithersRavenel’s Wilmington office, Joe is known not only for his engineering expertise, but also for his work ethic and commitment to client service.
“Joe puts in a ton of effort for our coastal team, and we’re glad to see his effort outside of work is getting recognition, too,” said Tucker McKenzie, PE, Director of Site/Civil at WithersRavenel.
Joe has worked as a civil engineer at WithersRavenel for over 10 years. He graduated from UNC Charlotte with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. If you’re looking for civil engineering services and support in the coastal region, reach out to Joe at (910) 509-6505 or jboyd@withersravenel.com.
